According to the information, Novotechnik U.S. released the Vert-X 90E Series of touchless rotary angle sensors. With a magnetic pick up secured to the rotating object, there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system. The Vert-X 90E Series sensor is 0.59 inch in height, and 3.54 inches in diameter. Measurement range is 0 to 360°, and repeatability is 0.1. These rotary sensors have good operation in harsh environments with environmental protection class rating of IP68 or IP69. The sensors can be programmed by customers or at the factory for the slope of the linear output, zero and end-points, mid-point and switch steps so customers can optimize this angle sensor for their specific application. These sensors do not need other components to specify the angles they want to measure from and to, choose an intermediate plateau or not, sense of rotation function (CW or CCW), V-output function and switch functions.

It adopts a programming tool Vert-X Easy Adapt combining to a PC to choose between six modifiable linear output curve characteristics to achieve program.

Vert-X 90E is available in 5V and 24V supply versions, up to two switch outputs, resolution to 14-bit, independent linearity to 0.3%, and hysteresis of ≤ 0.1°. MTBF is 1.3 million hours and higher depending on version. Output options include voltage of 10 to 90% of power supply, SPI, and PWM.

Vert-X 90E are ideal for off-highway and special purpose vehicles as well as applications requiring a thin or programmable sensor.
